Hearing a story--even with uncommon language--makes it rather easy to follow, no matter if reading the same text produces incomprehensible results.

Creative works inspire.

The more verbose, the faster you must speak for your audience to keep the idea in mind while fixing attention on your masterful use of the English language so exemplified in your presentation. It is little wonder, then, that it so often proves problematic to try to read paragraphs and passages of such poetry and pontification presented within the pages of those long past.

And this is just one more reason why I love Sonlight's Core packages! Not only do we get to read great books with fantastic writing and language, but we are also exposed to more complex works with Read-Alouds. On top of that, Sonlight's Language Arts programs take inspiration from your reading and encourage you to run with it.

Wonderful, and so much fun!!
I was looking for some excellent short plays for my children to learn, and I think that this is one we'll put on the list. It'll be great to look up all that interesting vocabulary, also!
Thank you so much for posting. :)
